'''Diamond Sawblades''' is a level 7 [[Forgecraft]] spell that creates up to 4 [[diamond sawblade (monster)|sawblades]]; 1 is spawned in each empty tile that's two-diagonal from you. The sawblades deal damage to every enemy adjacent to them each turn they are active.

==Useful Info==
The [[diamond sawblade (monster)|diamond sawblades]] are placed in the X positions in this diagram, where @ is the player:
X...X
.....
..@..
.....
X...X

Sawblades cannot be placed on tiles that are either out of [[LOS]] or contain a wall or a monster.

Sawblades have <code>1 + power/10</code> [[HD]],<ref>{{source ref|0.33.1|spl-summoning.cc|3845}}</ref> and their [[Shred]]s deal <code>4d(4 + 12*HD/22)</code> damage that always hits.<ref>{{source ref|0.33.1|zap-data.h|2525}}</ref> They will always cast Shred if an enemy is in range. HP = <code>39 + 2d20</code> and does not depend on power or HD.<ref>{{source ref|0.33.1|spl-summoning.cc|3848}}</ref>

==Strategy==
While not a primary "killdudes" spell due to the placement restrictions, Diamond Sawblades is useful as an option whenever the situation is ideal (akin to [[Eringya's Noxious Bog]]). The sawblades attack all adjacent enemies, giving them some AOE, and they can obstruct enemies, or at least reduce the enemies that can get to you.

Note that monsters tend to prefer moving in orthogonal directions rather than diagonal, although they'll still move diagonally if it would be the shortest path

You can help get monsters to stay in range of the sawblades by standing in the way, and prevent the sawblades from being targeted for attacks.
